First of all, what on earth is rucking? It is an American term, born from the US military, for walking with a weighted backpack (ruck). The British military call it tabbing, yomping, or loaded marching.
Ruck Race League is a five-event virtual rucking competition, running from March to July. Each month an event is released for entrants to complete virtually, logging results via the Strava app. Events last year included a 60-minute max distance ruck, a max elevation gain, and a 9-mile ruck for time.
Coach Olly took part in the 2025 series, and both he and Coach Naomi are signed up for this season. We will be running each event across the five months as a community get-together. If you would like to officially sign up you can do so at www.ruckraceleague.com or you can just come along and get some (weighted) steps!
You can check out this video and @ruckraceleague on Instagram.
